Peel and score cucumbers. Seed and roughly chop cucumbers. Melt butter and cook onions or shallots until wilted, for 2-3 minutes; add the chopped cucumbers, broth, vinegar, and 1/3 cup of the dill. Bring the broth to a boil, and whisk in the farina. Simmer uncovered until the farina is very soft, about 20 minutes. Puree.
